'Where the digital world challenges the way our world is structured, the arts challenge our perception of it.’

I am beautifully disturbed by products of artistic creation and this largely influences and impacts my life.

An artist's struggle in a ‘day job’ is a problem close to my heart and, having experienced challenges bridging the gap between art and technology, I can relate to it well.

I’m a curator for artists & creatives seeking to build a viable future for themselves by focusing on their craft (doing what they love ).

I offer different workshops about running a start-up and open up avenues where artists and creatives can meet and build tools in order to hone their craft.
